Update- I decided not to do a standard, it just did not fit the space. So in Feb I cut the whole thing down hard and crossed my fingers. Now it is a big full shrub, and even had 3 blooms!
So here is our answer-do not worry about cutting back a tree peony hard for rejuvenation if needed. It will recover quickly.

#1 Feb after cutting back hard
#2,3 May!
